SNC-Lavalin Group Inc. (TSX: SNC) is a Canadian engineering firm with interests in transportation, construction, hydroelectricity, mining and metallurgy, oil and gas, chemical engineering, petroleum engineering, aerospace engineering, defence, nuclear, environment, agriculture, pharmaceuticals and telecommunications. One of the ten largest engineering firms in the world, it is based in Montreal, Quebec.

The company was originally established by Arthur Surveyer in 1911. Surveyer went on to form a partnership with Emil Nenniger and Georges Chênevert. Surveyer, Nenniger & Chênevert eventually became SNC. In 1991, SNC merged with another of the largest Canadian engineering firms, Lavalin (created in 1936 by Lalonde & Valois, and headed since 1962 by the Lamarre family) to become SNC-Lavalin.
